    many people might really want to be rich, but they don’t become rich because it’s a difficult thing to achieve

    Wealth compounds easily, practically in a country that rewards the wealthy with cheap credit and subsidizes high risk investment.

    When your mom is on the board at IBM, when your best friends are the children of millionaires and billionaires, or when you have access to hedge fund levels of start up money, becoming rich isn’t that hard.

    It’s a cringe thing to say, but your Network really is your Net Worth. Just being a Kennedy is worth it’s weight, as evidenced by our future HHS Secretary’s history.
